Douglas Costa not team player. team working is very weak. i think, RM => valencia,belhanda,grosskreutz, LM => yarmolenko
Sebastien Corchia is good. so you use to Sebastien Corchia in RM. i used to, and he played very well.
 
13 game unbeaten run ended at Sunderland :( Should still be okay for Europe though! Trying to get Aboubakar on a free for the summer.
 
i change to ths tactics against the top teams and all ended up with defeats. I am Liverpool in first season. My tactics is fully fluid.

What did i do wrong?

What's your current line-up? What have you set your Match Training Focus to? Are the team's Morale generally very good? Also, did your Team Talks work?

There's alot of factors really and in FM, little things like team talks or morale could either be make or break for a match. I mean, you could do a masterpiece of a strategy but if your players aren't in on it, you won't get much results. Try to build a hard-working, determined team. That should put you in a good spot.

Finally, don't expect to win games, week in, week out but concentrate on building a good momentum with the team. The tactic's brilliant, work on micro-managing the team. This tactic will get you the league title season after season but you're gonna need good players for continental competitions and such. I wouldn't worry much though, seasonal wins gets me the funds I need to strengthen the team more, after all, if I win the CL at first try, I'd get bored.

On a side note, 3rd season kicks off with my Valencia save, had my revenge against Sevilla after beating them 2-0 on both legs for the Spanish Super Cup.

Just never did OI. I think that OI's destabilize the tactic.

Agreed, I binned the OI and games started to be better, the team held their shape more like a unit. Also, I'd rather concentrate on my team than the oppositions. The tactic's good enough to get the job done, usually it's a matter of whether my players are cut out for it or not.
 
Hi,

Do not understand below. Which 2 settings must 1 avoid??

I thought below is what you mentioned we should do??

OK, firstly there are two settings that you must avoid - rarely & never. These two instructions will go against the general philosophy of the tactic.

Tight Mark Always - any player in M/AM/F RLC who has pace/acc less than 12.
Closing Down Always - any player in DM, M/AM F RLC who has pace/acc less than 12 or possesses 14+ long shots. Any D RLC with an attribute in composure, concentration or decisions less than 10.
Tackling Hard - any player with Bravery less than 12.
Show Onto Weaker Foot - Anyone who's weaker foot ability is very weak, weak or reasonable.

I hope this helps. However this tactic can also be used as plug and play, not always a need for the OI. It just helps give that little bit of an edge I feel.

Hello, what he meant was never use the option RARELY or NEVER in the Opposition Instructions. Instead, use ALWAYS.

Hope that helps.
